236 - The year 2000. When we started this pod, it seemed as if the 2000's were off-limits, but somehow in the mystery of time we find ourselves 24 years distant from the turn of the millennium - so let's crack her open! Two cultural FORCES were unleashed that year - no, not Heely's & Bucket Hats - Destiny's Child, and Meet the Parents. See omnystud…

231 - You voted, we listened - it's SHAUN OF THE DEAD week! You chose wisely, as it's kind of the perfect way to wrap up this miniseries, with its sprawling tentacles pulling in pieces from all over the genre. Being the final episode of our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries, we also spend some time reflecting on the genre, as well as our fina…

230 - We have gone full circle, we kicked this thing off with Night of the Living Dead, and this week, we look at the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead, and explore the wormhole of sorts betwixt the two - Enjoy!

229 - It's our 4th entry into our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries and it's a major milestone - FAST ZOMBIES! Not to mention, fast infections.

Follow us on Instagram Join our F…

228 - It's week three of our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries. This week is notable admission to the Zombie cannon, although pretty polarising in appeal. But it's based on a game, a great game! WHAT A GAME! Anyway, Umbrella Corp, Mila Jovovich and a bunch of white dudes that look alike, oh and that one laser that dices that dude up... it's R…

227 - It's week 2 of our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries. After episode one's Romero double feature, we now get to explore one of the more extreme spins on the re-animated corpse-genre - it's EVIL DEAD (2).

No new episode this week, but here's a banger from the archives. MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE! It's good vs evil, Fate vs Destiny, and Dolph vs Pants.

216 - We are back on our JCVD make-goods, and going back to 1989 to dive into Cyborg - a film we sorta missed in our haste and eagerness to get to Kickboxer back in the day. So 4 years late, but better late than never! Right!? Right???? oh... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Follow us on Instagram Join our Friends of the Show Fa…

215 - A little extra AI episode because, why not? This film is very squarely ABOUT AI, while at the same time, not being interested in AI at all. But hey, it's got loads of other stuff. Also, Greg's mic wasn't working properly so some slightly poorer audio quality than usual in parts. Ironically, we turned to AI to fix it, with mixed results. See o…

212 - The pressure is ON this week. I mean, damn, it's 2001: A Space Odyssey. It also happens to be Tristan's favourite movie, for reasons that he cannot explain. So that should make for a good podcast? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Follow us on Instagram Join our Friends of the Show Facebook Group Follow us on TikTok…

211 - BIG movie this week. HUGE! So we had to go and get some mega guests... and who better than James and Anthony from the Raiders of the Lost Podcast. We go extremely deep in this 80s classic, while also jumping around the franchise, and James Cameron's 'saviour of women' complex (LOLs). We had a blast unpacking this one with these two pod lords,…

210 - A slight change of pace this week. No Spielberg, or Kubrick, or Scott, or Wachowski's. This week we have a horny robot and Fisher Steven's in brown face - but it makes for a spicy episode!

209 - Another heavy hitter with this week's AI exploration, it's Blade Runner. As you know, we are big fans of the 80s vision of the future, and all the trimmings that come with it - especially all things synth - and to help us unpack this synthy, tech noir, cyberpunk delight, we have the synth-lord himself, Sunglasses Kid (aka Edward Gamper). Sung…

208 - We're back for episode 2 of our AI movie miniseries, with THE MATRIX. What else is there to say? Big movie. Huge.

Follow us on Instagram Join our Friends of the Show…

208 - It's a brand new miniseries, folks! We are diving into the world of AI in film with, well, A.I.... This film has a somewhat unusual place in pop culture history - is it a misunderstood masterpiece from the brains of two of our greatest? Or an auteur anomaly representing a miss-step from its two dads? Is there even an answer to this question? …

207 - We are between miniseries and overdue for some JCVD cinema magic, so we are going back to where it all started, his first film of significance that we somehow skipped over when we embarked on our JCVD journey all those years ago - so here it is; No Retreat, No Surrender - enjoy!

204 - We are in deep now folks. Our Spy Guys miniseries has taken us to the darkest of corners of espionage; ill-tempered Sea Bass, shoe throwing, and 1960s British dentistry... but it's pretty gosh darned funny! But you knew that, why are you even reading this? Ready the earholes and slap that play button and enjoy Austin Powers: International Man…
